Have you listened still on a desert hill
At the close of a bitter day,
When the orange sun in wispy clouds
Has sat in a greenish haze?
In a cold white world the deepening drifts
That would cover the land like a pall,
Then the plaintive bawl of a hungry cow,
Is the loneliest sound of all.

To my mind, the only possible pet is a cow. Cows love you . . . They will listen to your problems and never ask a thing in return. They will be your friends forever. And when you get tired of them, you can kill and eat them. Perfect.

Cats are to dogs what modern people are to the people we used to have. Cats are slimmer, cleaner, more attractive, disloyal, and lazy....Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as some people (expensive girlfriends, for instance) that it's often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.
